Mackey Mucks It Up

Robert Mackey over at The Lede Blog of the NYTimes continues to provide quite selective news background commentary: -

Rabbi Compares West Bank Mosque Attack to Kristallnacht

So I added this comment:

While one cannot argue that Rabbi Metzger is free to draw historical comparisons, I could think of others, like the desecration of over 30 synagogues on Jerusalem's Old City between 1948-1967 by Arab Muslims or the violation of the sanctity of the Mount of Olives Jewish cemetery, 2000 years old by Arab Muslims or the burning of Joseph's Tomb in Shchem/Nablus in 2000 by Arab Muslims or the ransacking of Jericho's 4th century Shalom al Yisrael at that same time by Arab Muslims or the vast destruction of Jewish artifacts and remains within the Temple Mount in Jerusalem by Arab Muslims - all of which have not been similarly condemned and castigated as Jewish criminal lacts have been so condemned by official Israeli authorities.
